First Impression | 2018 KTM 450 SX-F – Putting The New KTM450 SX-F To The Test

Recently, we got our hands on a new 2018 KTM 450 SX-F to conduct our “First Impression” test, and although the new orange machine didn’t see very many updates from the 2017 model we can assure you that it will still likely end up at or near the top of our shootout list. The changes to the 2018 model include updated suspension settings (front and rear), revised radiator louvers and an orange frame ultimately making it a more refined, fine-tuned version of the 2017. TWMX test pilot Rich Taylor put the new machine through the ringer at Milestone MX last week, so sit back and hear what “RT” had to say about the 2018 KTM 450 SX-F.
